PATTI SMITH
Name: Patti Smith
Birth name: Patricia Lee Smith
Also known as Patti Smith Group
Born: 30 December 1946 Chicago, Illinois, U.S.
Patti Smith (born Patricia Lee Smith on December 30, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter
and poet.
She was influential in the birth of the punk rock with her 1975 debut album
Horses. Called "Punk's Poet Laureate" she integrated the beat poetry
performance style with garage rock. Her allusions introduced 19th century French
poetry to American teens, while her "unladylike" language defied the disco era.
Smith is most widely known for the song "Because the Night", which was co-written
with Bruce Springsteen and reached number 13 on Billboard Hot 100 chart. In 2004
Rolling Stone magazine counted her 47th in its list of "The Immortals: 100
Greatest Artists of All Time", and in 2007, she was inducted into the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame.
